I love to live things, so I wanted to immerse myself and get into the mindset - and sandals - of my forefathers.

Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.

Streets and their sidewalks-the main public places of a city-are its most vital organs.

Designing a dream city is easy; rebuilding a living one takes imagination.

There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.

Intricate minglings of different uses in cities are not a form of chaos. On the contrary, they represent a complex and highly developed form of order.

While you are looking, you might as well also listen, linger and think about what you see.

The ballet of the good city sidewalk never repeats itself from place to place, and in any one place is always replete with new improvisations.

This is something everyone knows: A well-used city street is apt to be a safe street. A deserted city street is apt to be unsafe.

People must take a modicum of public responsibility for each other even if they have no ties to each other.

This is what a city is, bits and pieces that supplement each other and support each other.

Don’t trivialize the fact that your life is diminishing.

Embrace all people with love, mercy and faith.

A person is thinking creature. His/Her main power of effect is in his/her thoughts.

Down through the years, I turned to the Bible and found in it all that I needed

A promotion is an illusionary solution out of an indebted employee’s pit of debt.

Food, to me, is always about cooking and eating with those you love and care for.

There was a lot of distance between the Dar of The Honesty Room and the Dar of Mortal City, so there was no attempt.

No one goes into standup to make money. The frustration and rejection are just too much.

Whenever sorrow comes, be kind to it. For God has placed a pearl in sorrow’s hand.

I can see every monster as they come in.
